+ Excellent picture quality, Ordinary Dvds are upscaled to 1080p and look just as good.
- Firmware is out of date but can be updated easily via ethernet connection, or if you register on the sony site you can download and burn your own upgrade disc.

anon, consett
+ ease of use and very good picture quality are the main plus points of this product. plus the outstanding value for money.
- the only two bad points are that it is not profile 2 out of the box and it does not have eight analogue outputs for owners of older amplifiers.

Trevor, Stroud , “Blu-Ray fanatic”
+ A nice slim piece of kit. Fits my ancient Sansui Stacking System like a dream but would look equally at home on any shelf. I like the S-video output and connecting to an InFocus Data Projector produces stunningly clear immages on Screen. The sound quality is outstanding and although I have not yet connected it to a 5;1 system it performs as though you are at the cinema simply by running it through my Sansui Amplifier and Stereo Speakers. Blu-Ray as well as Standard DVDs disks are handled perfectly as was the DVD I crearted from my Sony Cam Corder which films in 1080i HD. The HDMI output will come in handy when I get a Sony Bravio TV. No TV tuner which is excellent for us people who hate TV and do not want to be oblicated to buy a TV Lisense just to use the DVD player. I was able to update the installed software simply by leaving it attached to my Broadband Modem using the NetWork connection.
- No bad points

Robert, Pilling
+ It's not about good or bad points really. The player is very good but I have an upscaling DVD player for a fraction of the price that gives just as good a picture quality as this blue ray unit.

DVD players and Digital Video Recorders (DVD/HDD recorders) Buying GuideManufacturer's Description
Revel in astounding HD clarity with the BDP-S350 Blu-ray™ Disc player. Featuring BD-Live™ compatibility*, you can take full advantage of the Bonus View feature of select Blu-ray movies as well as acquire the latest features and updates as they become available. This player also outputs a Full 1080/24p True Cinema picture, plus upscales your existing DVD collection to 1080p when using the HDMI™ connection. Superior picture quality isn’t the only thing you’ll notice, the BDP-S350 comes with Dolby® TrueHD™ which delivers sound as stunning as the high definition picture itself. Bringing it all together is the new icon based Xcross Media Bar, which provides simple navigation of the player’s menu system.

Bonus View
Bonus View feature provides “picture-in-picture” capability with select Blu-ray Disc titles — useful for viewing director or actor commentary while the movie plays.
BD-Live Ready (will be available by firmware update)
BD-Live (when firmware update becomes available) brings you the next generation of interactivity, allowing you to download and stream bonus content such as additional scenes, shorts, trailers, movie-based games, and more.
Full HD 1080/60 p & 24p True Cinema Video Output
Most of all Hollywood movies are shot at 24 frames per second, and Blu-ray Disc™ movies are mastered at 24 frame per second, so it is only fitting that the Sony® Blu-ray Disc™ Players can output your films at 1080/24p for a true film-like experience at home. Of course, Sony® Blu-ray Disc™ Players can also output at 1080/60p for more traditional HDTV sets on the market. Either way Sony® has you covered for the best picture possible in Full 1080p!
Quick start-up mode
Quick start-up mode allows operation in Approximately 6 seconds from when Sony® Blu-ray Disc™ player is powered on.

Dolby TrueHD delivers lossless studio master quality audio designed specifically for high definition entertainment like Blu-ray Disc™. An incredible sound stage, dynamic range and a stellar Home Theater experience await you with Dolby TrueHD.
Dolby® TrueHD /DTS®-HD bitstream out over HDMI™ (V1.3)
Dolby TrueHD/DTS-HD gives you sound quality that matches the crystal clear image of Blu-ray Disc™. With up to 7.1 channels of surround sound and audio that is indistinguishable from the original studio version, Dolby TrueHD/DTS-HD promises you an extraordinary surround experience.
DVD upscale to 1080p
DVD Upscaling via HDMI™ gets the most out of your existing DVD collection by upscaling standard definition video to near HD quality.
Precision Cinema HD Upscale
Precision Cinema HD upscale uses high bandwidth digital-to-analog conversion and processing to detect image changes at the pixel level, rather than at the level of whole scan lines. Additionally, separate algorithms are used to process the moving and still parts of an image, resulting in sharp backgrounds with moving objects that are free from motion artifacts.
x.v.Color™ for AVC-HD
xvYCC color standard – Support for the international xvYCC color standard produces images with 1.8x the color space of the traditional RGB color standard, resulting in images with more natural and vivid color reproduction.
BRAVIA™ Sync

When combined with a select number of BRAVIA® televisions and other Sony audio and video products, in addition to audio and video transmission, control functions will betransmitted via the HDMI™ cable. With “One Touch Play,” operations that took several steps have been reduced to one. Press the PLAY button on the remote, watch the audio and/or the video component(s) turn on then the BRAVIA® television turn on and switch to the correct video input. Simple…Easy…BRAVIA® Sync.
